Size of baby: Yesterday I had an ultrasound which estimated that she's 6.2 pounds (or possibly 6 pounds, 2 ounces). I asked the tech if she could tell how long she is, but apparently that isn't possible since she's all curled up. What I should have asked is how big her head is. (And she should be the size of a winter melon, whatever that means.)
Sleep: I get tired relatively early. The quality of sleep has been about the same, but I've had a hard time waking up in the morning this week.
Total weight gain: +21 pounds.
Unglamorous body changes: Half of my belly button seems to pop out, depending on how I'm sitting.
Best moment this week: Quite a few good things happened this week, actually. Monday Jacob and I had dinner with my former roommate and her family. Wednesday was our Pinterest party, which we altered into a movie night with lots of delicious snacks and a chick flick. Yesterday we had an ultrasound, and while we weren't able to get the clearest images since baby girl is so crowded, we were able to see that she has a fair amount of hair and that everything still seems to be developing correctly. Today my work threw me a baby shower and we received a baby swing in addition to some other great things.
Movement: She doesn't kick so much as squirm these days. She's running out of room, and I often try to push her out of my ribs.
Food cravings/aversions: Just food in general. Junk food, when it's available.
Symptoms: Heartburn, of course. An achey back now and again. Pain in the nether regions which makes me suspect I am very much going to take them up on that epidural, given the chance.
Currently looking forward to: A slice of leftover baby shower cake. I don't even usually like cake. But here we are.
Realization of the week: I continue to be amazed by the generosity of others. I hope one day to be in a position where I can be just as generous to somebody else.

Milestones: I'm now considered full term! This baby could potentially come any day now. Though I do hope she'll wait until my sub plans are finished. (I have started them, finally. But just barely.)
Other tidbits: Everyone keeps asking if we've picked a name yet. No, no we have not. I was under the impression that we had narrowed it down to two names, but yesterday Jacob suggested that we think of other names to consider. I don't think we'll have a name until after she's born.
